Cheap Fire TV remote for virtually any Android TV device

by ReddiePenguin

I just wanted to give everyone a nice tip.

I've seen some people say that they like the Fire TV remote vs a lot of other devices.

On eBay, if you don't need voice, they can be obtained for $5-$7.

I do not believe any of the voice ones will work with Google Assistant but it's a nice backup remote if you barely use voice like myself.

On my Onn 4K Box, every single button worked including Play/Pause and Menu.

I actually must admit, I like it more than the G10 that arrives with the Onn.

Yes you lose voice, but the size and less buttons everywhere on the FTV remote, makes it easier to use it without looking at it.

EDIT: Search eBay or similar sites for "CV98LM" or just "Fire TV Remote". Some voice ones appear but I just got the basic non-voice like the original Fire TV's had before Alexa.

So...how do I find it? Link, model name, key words?

If you need more functionality the G20 remote is awesome for Android TV. Google Assistant voice works great.

Shield TV specific: aftermarket remotes don't work on the default keyboard; so I installed the SwiftKey keyboard.
